Step-by-Step Instructions for Berry Chantilly Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare three 8-inch round cake pans by greasing them with butter and lightly flouring.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add softened butter, milk, and vanilla to the dry mixture and beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.
  4. Whip egg whites in a separate bowl until soft peaks form and fold them into the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool the cake in the pans for 10 minutes then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  7. Whip together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to stiff peaks.
  8. Assemble the cake by layering whipped cream and mixed berries between the cake layers and frosting the top and sides.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
